totally agree with you clara! iv been off work since 30 weeks cause i saved up my annual leave. i officially finished work at 34 weeks but had 4 weeks holiday to take so finished at 30. i work as a full time nurse and there is no way i could have kept working so to pinkfairy and all of you other girls still working i salute ya! i hope you are getting lots of rest pinkfairy even if its wee cat naps during the day but with your daughter being ill i know that will prob be difficult for you. i hope i have a 3 1/2 hour labour like you did! fingers (not legs) crossed lol!!! got mw appointment tomorrow so she can check to see if my urine infection is gone. need to see her anyway cause antibiotics have given me thrush. sorry i think that was too much info lol! isnt pregnancy a magical time!!! lol!!!

Cheryl, hope your m/w appointment goes well. My daughter is still not well so I am taking her up to the Drs today. My daughter is very good when she is ill and yesterday I did have a rest, and I am feeling less tired so maybe when I go on maternity leave I will start to have a bit more energy!

hi pinkfairy!

did you take your daughter to drs today and how is she? went to mw and still have blood and small amount of protein in urine. they have sent a dipslide off to the lab so hopefully get results on monday. they think it might be the thrush that has done it so have given me pesseries (spelling is crap lol!!!) and cream. they said that some women need another dose of antibiotics but i hope its nothing! babys head is fixed and they can only feel 2-3 fifths of the head! the mw told me that the baby is basically ready to come out but its all down to her lol!!! how are you feeling today? still getting plenty of rest? cheryl x

Hi Cheryl, you poor thing, at least your baby is going to be on her way soon - how exciting. Took my daughter to the Drs and her glands are up and her ears inflammed so they gave her a spray, but her nose and eyes are streaming and she is quite tearful at feeling so poorley which is unlike her poor thing. So today I have to ring in work again to say I won't be in which won't go down to well, but I only have 3 weeks until maternity leave and at the end of the day my daughter comes first. I have no relatives that can look after her as they all live miles away and all my friends work so I have no option than to look after her. Blood test tomorrow - will have to take her with me, but at least I will have some company.
